$49,650 · Sedan

$33,400 · Hatchback

Comparison Overview

Choosing between premium European sportiness and practical Japanese value can be tough. The 2025 BMW 4 Series Gran Coupe starts at a hefty $49,650, demanding a premium over the 2026 Acura Integra’s $33,400 starting price—a significant $16,250 gap. While the BMW boasts a robust 255 hp output from its 2.0L engine compared to the Integra's 200 hp, daily running costs might favor the Acura, which achieves a slightly better 32 combined MPG versus the BMW’s 30 MPG. Furthermore, the Integra offers vastly superior utility, packing 24.3 cu ft of cargo space, easily dwarfing the 4 Series Gran Coupe’s 16.6 cu ft, making it more versatile for weekly errands despite the BMW’s marginally larger exterior dimensions (188.5 inches long vs. 185.8 inches). The decision hinges on whether the performance boost and luxury badge justify the high entry cost.
